For the first time in 30 years, the Toronto Blue Jays will be playing in the World Series against the best team of the last decade, the Los Angeles Dodgers. The excitement for the fans has never been higher and it showed with how fast the tickets sold out.
Tickets for all the World Series games are fully sold out on Ticketmaster, similar to what happened for the ALCS.
World Series tickets for the Toronto Blue Jays are sold out.
Phil Tseroukas of CTV News reported on the pandemonium of the ticket sales for the World Series, for the Blue Jays. The tickets were fully sold out for all 4 home games in under 30 minutes.
"The sale started at 10 a.m. and by 10:30 a.m., those waiting in the digital queue to purchase a ticket to any of the four games at Rogers Centre were met with the message: «Primary Tickets for this event have sold out.» The queue grew to more than 235,000 people at one point and, once fans did get their chance to grab a pass, some were luckier than others."-Tseroukas
Tickets can still be bought through resellers, but at a much higher price point.
The same thing occurred during the ALCS, but with the World Series the prices are even more insane.
"Tickets are still available from resellers on Ticketmaster at the time of writing, and currently going for $2,389 each (including taxes and fees) on the low-end in the 500 Level and $9,231+ on the high end in the 100s for Game 1. The cheapest ticket you can find on Stubhub for the same game is going for $2,278 (including taxes and fees)."-Tseroukas
Compared to the World Series back in 1993, the tickets were under 100$, of course with inflation that would be a little higher but the actual markup adjusted for inflation has skyrocketed.
It goes to show how far sports have come but the majority of fans are willing to pay that price.
